...stanch believers in the committee as an administrative form are Standard Oil Co. (New Jersey) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. In operating efficiency the two show considerable variation. Dating back to the days when the late John Davison Rockefeller met almost daily with his partners to chart the devious course of the old Oil Trust, Standard's devotion to committees is even carried into executive functions. Standard's president is chief executive officer but there is also an active, working chairman. For a long time this executive team has been President Walter Clark Teagle and Chairman...
...Socialist Norman Thomas, visiting Valencia, heard only one shot fired during several hours at the Teruel front trenches. But off the sea just before one dawn came a droning V of Rightist planes. Ninety bombs whistled down in Valencia's worst air raid to date. At least 200 people were killed, about 50 buildings destroyed. Uninjured but considerably ruffled, Socialist Thomas cried: "It was diabolical. I shall take a first-hand report of this to President Roosevelt." Lucky was the little British freighter Pinzon, at anchor in Valencia harbor. A bomb dropped full on her bridge but failed...
...This rash and foolish plan [is] a real danger to the established neutrality policy of this nation.

In his favor, the Madrid General Federation of Labor, most potent Socialist-Communist labor group, threw in its lot with the new Government and the menace of Anarcho-Syndicalists, largely industrial workers, shrank proportionately. His other and bigger job-winning the war- he tackled by giving the strongest politician on the Leftist side, onetime Bilbao newsboy Indalecio Prieto, sole charge of the War, Navy, Air and Munitions Ministries. For the first time...
...difficult key post of Minister of the Interior (controlling the national police force and secret service) Dr. Negrin chose young, forceful Basque Socialist Julian Zugazagoita who announced that he would maintain internal order with a rod of iron. A weaker spot in the new Cabinet was in the Foreign Ministry. Julio Alvarez del Vayo, who during the Civil War has acquired the distinction of being one of Europe's most brilliant foreign ministers, had to be replaced because he is inextricably linked with former Premier Largo Caballero. The newly appointed Foreign Minister, Left Republican José Giral Pereira, though...
